Actually, Binary Slim is narrower for even more screen-packing power.

Any desktop-based font with a true bitmap component (or with
sufficient hinting to allow conversion of the outlines into a clean
bitmap) will work as a Newton font. I currently using a version of
Mark Simonson's Raster Gothic Condensed typeface. I converted his
original Mac bitmaps (then named Condensed Gothic) into Newton SFNTs a
few years ago. The 9pt setting of Condensed Gothic is quite nice to
use in Notes, when compared to the built-in System and Simple fonts.

Here's a comparison of the three typefaces as shown on my Newton:
